Please could you advise me on how I can check to see if my current aerial will work with Freeview or do I need to replace it?
Answer
Without putting test equipment on the end of your aerial lead there is no way of knowing if your particular aerial will receive all the digital multiplexes, no matter how 'new' your aerial looks. If you require your aerial to be tested contact your local CAI Member and arrange a visit, but please be aware that you are likely to be charged a fee for doing so. If it is found that you do require a new aerial and the engineer is able to install one 'there and then', the fee for testing is more than likely to be waived.
